Description:
High, dreamlike, strenuous, sweaty, unique and simply beautiful... With these adjectives one can best describe the hike to the highest mountain of the Tannheimer Tal. A natural jewel in the Tannheimer Tal . Enjoy an unique view. 

Directions:
From the parking lot west in Tannheim we start west on the hiking trail towards Älpele/Höfersee. Passing the district Neu-Kienzen we reach a crossroads and follow the signs towards Älpele. Here the hiking trail leads comfortably through the forest until after some time we reach the alpine pasture Älpele. Past the Älpele the steep part of the hike begins gradually.  We ascend, past the so-called "Lausbichl", here the path runs serpentine to the Feldalpe. Having reached the high plateau we enjoy the unique view. For the first time we have a clear view of the Gaishorn. A massive and so beautiful mountain stands before us. We cross under the rock and follow the path up to the ridge.From the ridge we see our destination. The newly built summit cross, which was carried up as it is a tradition in the Tannheimer Tal, catches our eye. The blue glass ball in the middle shines in the sun. From the highest mountain of the Tannheimer Tal we have an endless view. We take the descent to Vilsalpsee, here the path is a little steeper but without any problems. When we reach the bottom we walk along the lake shore to the bus stop. From there we take the bus or walk back to the starting point.
